Enhancements to Butler Memorial Park are intended to contribute to the continuing revitalization of the Jasper Place area and to support the goals of safety, connections and community building. The new design will enhance area character and integrate with current plans for improving the adjacent Jasper Place Transit Centre.

Public Engagement

Feedback contributed at Public Engagement sessions for area and park redevelopment plans provided information on how citizens believe the park could be improved. A public survey was completed online and in person throughout Summer 2017. Responses from residents, local businesses, community organizations and park visitors were used to inform park priorities for desired activities and elements within the park.
